When Li Dakai completely hated Jiang Xiaochuan, Jiang Xiaochuan also blacklisted Li Dakai.

He now had an enemy in the government. There was a high chance that he and Li Dakai would not get along well or have many different opinions in the future. Maybe the people above would make personnel changes when they saw that the team below was not united and harmonious. But those were all speculations, and Jiang Xiaochuan didn’t want to worry too much.

The reform of state-owned enterprises, the renovation of old urban areas, and the support of urban enterprises…

These issues were all major issues hanging in the air. It would be better if they were brought to the ground as soon as possible and put into actions.

On the way back, it was already afternoon, and the season was already on the tail end of summer. Some leaves that were turning yellow quickly had fallen off on the roadside.

Wei Lai sat in the passenger seat and answered a phone call.

Jiang Xiaochuan suddenly frowned when he heard this.

Wei Lai turned around with a serious expression on his face, “Mayor Jiang, the public security director, Lu Xiu was beaten on the road.”

It was unusual for a dignified public security director to be beaten. Jiang Xiaochuan knew that it was not ordinary people who beat him and it was still puzzling why Lu Xiu got beaten.

Back in the office, the office below immediately submitted a report.

Things suddenly got out of hand.

The incident of keeping a mistress was exposed. Some indecent videos were circulated on the Internet. Lu Xiu also used his position to force female police officers in the station to have a relationship with him. He made principled mistakes during the interrogation process many times. Now some family members of the victim had directly joined forces and pulled him out of the car and beat him severely. TV reporters were also there and filmed the scene, which caused a sensation in the city.

Wei Lai carefully looked at Jiang Xiaochuan’s expression, then saw the man’s sullen face. Jiang Xiaochuan took out his pen, twisted his wrist, and wrote a few words under the document. He handed the document to Wei Lai and said calmly: “Pass it on.”

Wei Lai took the document, nodded, and went out. When he went outside, he opened the document and saw that among the leaders’ opinions and signatures, it was Jiang Xiaochuan who looked extremely serious and dull four written words: [Be strict and severe.]

In this life, Lu Xiu collapsed faster than he imagined, and it was because of such stupid reasons. He had a very natural premonition that he might not be able to reach the height of that life in this life, and everything would clearly come to an end.

The journey home suddenly became peaceful in his eyes.

He sat in the car and watched the scenery flying around him. Those people, whether good or bad, were leaving.

What would the expressions of the officials he had interacted with be like when the theater comes to an end?

A person’s future and destiny often did not depend on their own hands, but he wanted to completely grasp it.

.

When he entered the municipal compound, he met Qu Zhendong. He must have been waiting for Jiang Xiaochuan.

As the leader of a Provincial Party Committee, he was still there waiting for a subordinate. This was a very humble behavior. Most people would be moved if they met them. It was a pity – this person was Jiang Xiaochuan, who was already hard-hearted.

“Old leader, why are you here?”

Jiang Xiaochuan called out this rare title – old leader. He originally worked under Qu Zhendong. Without Qu Zhendong’s support, he would not be where he was today.

Qu Zhendong stood by the garden, with wrinkles on his fair and fat face that couldn’t hide, “Oh, I haven’t heard you call me that for a long time. It’s quite rare. I just went to see your father, but he doesn’t seem to be doing well. I see that his face is a little pale. I heard that something happened before. You should pay more attention now. You are his son after all. No matter how busy you are, you have to take care of him.”

Although he didn’t want to have anything with Qu Zhendong, but his words touched Jiang Xiaochuan’s heart. Jiang Xiaochuan was also very emotional and smiled: “Dad is not in good health, but he seems to have made new friends recently. It’s good that he is happy. Recently, I don’t dare to relax when doing regular inspections. So, I was quite busy.”

“You are a filial child, so that’s fine. But outside of life, you also have to work hard. I heard that you and Li Dakai are at odds with each other. To put it bluntly, both of you are my old subordinates, and he was promoted by me. You must not let the Chengzhou team fall out of harmony. You must know that things have not settled down a few days ago. Don’t let anything happen again at this critical time. I know that Li Dakai has a bad temper, so you should bear with him more. Anyway, you are a hard worker and have endured until now. Who else can stop you from realizing your ambition? I know that you are a young man with ideals. This is a good thing, don’t let good things turn into bad things.” Qu Zhendong seemed to be serious in his words.

Jiang Xiaochuan lowered his head, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and stood casually, looking a little quieter. “Secretary Qu, what you are saying is that I was confused before and failed to see the opportunity clearly. I will correct it in the future.” After receiving Jiang Xiaochuan’s assurance, Qu Zhendong walked away with a smile on his face and patted Jiang Xiaochuan on the shoulder.

Jiang Xiaochuan, who was standing there, glanced sideways at his shoulder, as if looking at something dirty. He stretched out his hand and patted it, as if to slap away something dirty.

He walked through the pine garden and came to the lotus garden where his house was located. He had just reached the door and before he had time to take out the key and room card to open the door, he lowered his eyes and saw a corner of a photo in the crack of the door. He bent down to pick it up. When he got up, he saw that it was a photo of Hua Feng, director of Huaxin Group, and Qiu Yu, president of Lisson Group.

Why was this thing at his door?

Jiang Xiaochuan held the photo in his hand and thought of Qu Zhendong.

His heart sank, he pushed open the door of his home, and was stunned on the spot.

Jiang Encheng was unconscious with hands on his chest.

The feeling he witnessed at that moment was like a giant hammer hitting his heart. Jiang Xiaochuan almost couldn’t stand and fell down. Everything in front of him was pitch black…

He was still in a trance when the ambulance left and he still held on to the photo.
